# LatchImage

Stores (latches) an image on the specified event.

## LatchImage Inputs

Parameters | Description
Image | This argument must reference a spreadsheet cell that contains a valid Image data structure. By default, the cell referenced is A0, the cell containing the Image data structure returned byAcquireImage.
Fixture | Defines the Region of Interest (ROI) relative to a Fixture input or the output of a Vision Tools function's image coordinate system. Setting the ROI relative to a Fixture ensures that if the Fixture is rotated or translated, the ROI will be rotated or translated in relation to the Fixture. The default setting is (0,0,0), the top leftmost corner of the image.
X | Specifies the x-offset, in image coordinates.
Y | Specifies the y-offset, in image coordinates.
Theta | Specifies the orientation, in image coordinates.
Region | Also known as the Region of Interest (ROI), specifies the region of the image that undergoes image processing; creates a Region that can be transformed and rotated. With this parameter selected, pressing the button will automatically stretch the region to cover the entire image.
X | Specifies the x-offset of the origin, in fixture coordinates.
Y | Specifies the y-offset of the origin, in fixture coordinates.
Width | Specifies the dimension along the region's x-axis.
Height | Specifies the dimension along the region's y-axis.
Angle | Specifies the orientation, in fixture coordinates.
Note: The Fixture and Region parameters must be defined within the bounds of the image; otherwise, the function will return #ERR.
Event | Specifies the update event on which to store the image. This parameter must be a reference to one of the following: The Image data structure in cell A0 (the default, containing the AcquireImage function). A cell containing a Button function.
Colorize | Only relevant for color images. When disabled, the latched image will be converted to greyscale (otherwise it remains in color).
0 = Disabled (default)
1 = Enabled
Show | Specifies which graphical overlays are displayed on top of the image.
0 = hide all (default) | The available graphics items will be hidden except when the cell containing the function is the active cell in the spreadsheet. Note: If the input region changes, a second region is displayed, indicating where the latching will occur on the next specified event.
1 = results graphics only | The processed image will be displayed at all times.
2 = input graphics only | The graphics items associated with the input image region will be will be displayed at all times.

## LatchImage Outputs

Returns | A LatchImage data structure with the image stored on the last event.
